Blake Lively world's most desired

BLAKE Lively has been named the world's most desirable woman.

The 23-year-old actress - who called time on her three-year romance with 'Gossip Girl' co-star Penn Badgley last September - has beaten the likes of Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson and Cheryl Cole to top the online poll of 5 million men.

Conducted by AskMen.com, the survey saw 'Black Swan' actress Mila Kunis - who recently split from 'Home Alone' star Macaulay Culkin after eight years together - voted in second place, with 'Modern Family's Sofia Vergara landing a third place position.

Meanwhile, supermodel Selita Ebanks and Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr - who welcomed Flynn, her first child with actor husband Orlando Bloom, into the world last month - rounded off the top five.

However, those who voted Blake into the top spot are unlikely to ever see her out partying, as she recently admitted she is a "homebody" who hates going out.

She said: "I'm much more of a homebody than a person who goes out. I don't think I've ever been to a club other than to see a band or if the 'Gossip Girl' producers are throwing an after-party specifically for us to go to, or the red carpet.

"But I have never gone out, just to go out, because I don't really find it that fun. I like to go and listen to live music and stuff, so that's when I'll go out."
